    Amazing Experience!

    Avila Dawn Events has an amazing eye for detail and was able to really help bring our vision to life. Jevettra is nothing short of amazing and would always bring fresh, unique and creative ideas to the table that always seemed to be way better than we could have dreamed of. Having Jevettra by your side during the wedding planning stage is a must, especially being a Covid bride. Her and her team on the day of the wedding helped to keep everything on track and ensured everything went as planned. Jevettra is a true professional and great at her job. She truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a spectacular wedding even though the pandemic threw a couple of loops our way. Its no way we could have pulled it off without her and we are so thankful for her. We’d hire her again, again, and a million times again. Thank you Jevettra for helping to make our day special.

    Book the Best!

    Words could not begin to express how thankful we are to have had Jevettra as our wedding planner and designer. She took my limited vision and created a day more beautiful and amazing than I could have even imagined. From the moment we began working with her she was such a calm sounding board with excellent ideas. Her personality both puts you at ease and gets you excited for the day she will create. Jevettra handled so much behind the scenes so that I didn't have to worry about the many small piece. When COVID hit, she quickly and honestly informed us of our options. Once we made the decision to postpone from April to July it took her less than 2 days to have every single vendor we hired moved to our new date. We even had one vendor unable to accommodate our date change and she found a great replacement within that same day. She took what could have been an incredibly stressful time and made it as seamless as possible. Leading up to the wedding weekend she took care of so much so we could just enjoy the moment. When we finally got to see the reception space we were absolutely blown away. She designed the most beautiful, classy, and incredible room I have ever seen. She also made our space "us" in so many small ways. We were so blessed to have a planner that worked so well not only with us as a couple but with every single vendor to make our day the best day possible. I would highly recommend you hire Jevettra for your event - you will not be disappointed and will probably end up with a great friend by the end.

    Long-Sims Wedding

    They say when you are planning a wedding, to expect something to go wrong. That may be true for most, but if you have Jevettra on your team you can bank on your wedding being a picture of perfection! Working with Avila Dawn Events was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. From our very first conversation, I knew she was someone that I could trust with our most important day...and she didn't disappoint. To simply say that she is an exceptional designer doesn’t quite capture her talent and skills. Not only did she bring to life the wedding of our dreams, she captured our vision (and more) with beauty, creativity, and style. She is the epitome of professionalism and was AMAZING to work with every step of the way. We will forever be grateful for her work.

    Great experience

    Our wedding planning was a great experience. We had a detailed schedule and they did a great job of keeping us on track and giving us advice about the problems they usually encounter. The wedding and reception went off without a hitch and we were able to just enjoy the experience. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that is looking for a professional and detail-oriented experience.

    Best Decision We Made

    Hiring Jevettra Gardner of Avila Dawn Events as our wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made. With everything going on in our lives at the time we would have lost our minds if we would have went any other route when planning our wedding. Jevettra had the ability and expertise to help us bring to life the wedding that we envisioned. She was always accessible, flexible and overly willing to do whatever was needed to make our special day perfect.

    Jevettra is well connected in her industry and have a passion for what she does. She isn’t a “Drill Sergeant” type of planner, she is very approachable with a kindred personality. I highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding; with Jevettra leading your wedding I’m confident it will be a success.

    Let me just start by saying...Jevettra is AMAZING! My husband and I never had a wedding, so we decided to dive into having our dream wedding on our 6th wedding anniversary. She went above and beyond my expectations and I couldn’t be happier to have used her services. I started out with somewhat of a sketch of what I thought I wanted and Jevettra’s expertise pinpointed the vision and brought the details to fruition!

    Whether you need a little guidance or want to be completely hands off, Jevettra is definitely your girl. Her vendor recommendations were stellar and her personal knack for design and creating an experience for the guests is breathtaking. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to do ANYTHING it takes to make sure your special day flows smoothly without a hitch is unmatched. Thank you Avila Dawn Events for granting me the wedding of my dreams! ❤️Evan J.

    Great to work with!

    Jevettra was such a great Day-Of-Coordinator! She was so knowledgeable about Columbia vendors and the best vendors to work with in my area. She made sure our wedding day went smoothly and ran on time. I highly recommend her!

    Our wedding experience with Avila Dawn events was fantastic. We live in Orlando, FL and got married in Columbia, SC so we desperately needed some assistance through the planning and design process. Jevettra Gardner was a true professional from beginning to end and we could not have been more happy with the end result. Our wedding went off without a hitch and no last minute stressful surprises. I would certainly recommend using their services to friends and family and especially if you are out of town. All of the vendors that were recommended from Florists, Catering, DJ, Cake, etc. where outstanding and really made our big day special. I can honestly say that our wedding day was perfect and something that we will never forget. This was money very well spent.

    I owe the success of our wedding to Avila Dawn Events! Before hiring Jevettra the only they we had was a event space. From start to finish Jevettra made my wedding planning process extremely easy! The timelines kept us track, constant emails, and her recommendations of the best vendors. When it was time for wedding I could enjoy everyone moment & not worry about a thing because I know Avila Dawn Events had everything under control. We can't thank you enough would recommend her services to everyone !!

    Thanks to Jevettra and her team, we have had outstanding cotillion celebrations! She is a poised and professional choreographer, and added so much grace and class to our event. Our debutantes and parents loved her just as much as we do too. Thanks Jevettra!

    Jevettra planned the sweetest and most beautiful wedding for us. We had a strict budget and she was able to pull it off under budget and and on short notice! She helped me focus on what was important and provided unique ideas to make the day extra special. Her attention to detail, energy and creativity are apparent at all stages from planning, to execution, to after the big day. She is brilliant.

    Your wedding day is one of the most exciting days of your life and planning can be very stressful....unless....you have the pleasure of working with Avila Dawn Events. Everything was completely organized. Each deadline that was set was met. Most of all wanting to make sure every idea we had for our special day come to light was their priority. Being able to soak up each moment of my wedding day without a care in the world was something I will always cherish. The beauty of the sanctuary and reception hall when the doors opened for us to enter will be embedded in my memory forever. They are professional, caring and so fun to work with. If you are planning any event and want 100% satisfaction you may want to contact Avila Dawn Events.

    Great planner. Jevettra and her company can assist any bride and groom from any location. Avila Dawn Events is located in South Carolina and my wedding was in Miami. One of the things that I love is the fact that she brings her husband along and he helps to keep the groom and groomsmen together. He keeps them relaxed and happy. My husband really appreciated having someone that was there for them as well. Thank you again Jevettra and Brian!
